Re: Grand Theft Auto 4.

The driving has become somewhat of a hassle...its as if every car's tires are coated with butter. Theres no traction. Using the brake just causes more problems... Also sometimes the missions can be so damn annoying. But besides that the game is still great fun.

In regards to the driving, I felt the same way until I finally got the hang of it. It makes sense, because some of the nicer cars have much better handling. Also, if you play online it is better that it is hard to drive since it makes it more exciting and much more skill is involved in getaways and chases.

But I love the game, I've been playing on and offline since I got it, (midnight launch) and I think the cell phone idea is amazing and so are most of the missions.

PS. Packie is by far the best character.

Yeah Packie is pretty fun. I remember one time when I got drunk with him...lol...that was fun. Anyways I had to pick him up at the hospital after everything.

and why, Jesse Fett, do you hate the GTA series with a passion? some of the stuff is quite true in real life.

And yet the majority is definitely NOT. I dont see 40 car jacks a day in Miami, or 10 ppl (minimum) getting shot to death by M16's, or cars doing flips and going off ramps around the city....kind of exhaggerated. But yea Jesse, dont just blurt out a statement. Support it. Whats your deal with it?

Re: Grand Theft Auto 4.

So much I could say, just dont know how to word it right. I guess the main thing I hate about it, is its pointless killing of innocent people, aswell its disrepsect for police and women. Watch Glen Beck on cnn Headline news, what he says about it is pretty much my exact opinion on GTA.

hey Hey HEY! A fellow sick-twisted-Freak! *in case you don't listen to his radio program, that's what Glenn calls his supporters, and visa versa * I really like Glenn. He's funny, yet solid on most issues that really matter to me *guns, border, Iraq.* Next to Rush Limbaugh *all you Rush haters who post after me, you're even more off topic then I am * he's the best on radio; much better then Hannity *spelling.*

I've never played any of the GTA series, but have to admit I'd like to try it. Not really for the gore and hookers, but more for the deep experience that I've heard so much about. It sounds to me like it has an Oblivion element that I love; near total freedom in a massive game world where it's basically up to you how you want to play it.

If this is a missconception please clear it up for me, as that's the main reason I consider trying it

"You set a code to live by. I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted...I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other men, and I require the same from them."

Re: Grand Theft Auto 4.

Well there technically hasn't been a GTA set it Miami or New York either, just Vice City, Liberty City, and San Andreas.

Ok just to be on the same footing here...you do know that Vice City is modeled after Miami and Liberty City is modeled after New York and San Andreas to L.A. right?

Hmmm... nope, didn't notice that after flying a helicopter past the statue of liberty i mean happiness or the Empire State Building i mean Rotterdam tower. (Of course I know they are based on real places, I was merely pointing out the fact that while based on real places... they are not.)

To Ralin: It is a very open environment that does not have many boundaries on what you can do. However it is not a lot like oblivion other than that. A lot more senseless violence and death.

And as for Glen Beck... I'm going to try to keep this as civil as possible.

Glen Beck uses the same tired rhetoric for hating the game as every other tv personality. He links the game to military training saying that simulations like this have made people more vicious and accurate over the years. Not mentioning the advancement in technology itself or the fact that these games in no way train you in the use of true fire arms. His stats are crazy as he states that the game is teaching our society to be murderers even though the crime rate has halved in recent years. I'd be glad to keep going, but its unnecessary.

PS. He had Jack Thompson on his show as an expert. End of argument. Thompson rants about how games ruin America and yet he has been laughed out of (and restricted from working in) most courts in the United States. Great expert.
